God of War (PS4)
-
So I just found out the game has a Performance mode that locks it at 1080p but boosts to 60fps.
MEATS BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS
-
sadly does not sound like a 60fps lock but instead unlocked like previous games though still a potential day one patch?
-
On top of the EZA review being excellent, reviews in general for GoW have been extremely glowing.
I'm very excited to check this one out!
-
@nimbat1003 this game doesn't meet the 2 major categories to enter the HOG
1- the game has to be made in Japan.
2- the game has to be at least 10 years old.
-
A big pass from me. It seems to have ditched its arcadey like combat for something worse, and its story seems to have gone for the more trending and serious/grounded tone.
-
@sheria Dunno what you mean about the combat. Looks pretty arcadey to me.

No way. It's clearly going for something more authentic and visceral, and there's no sign of any combo counter or any push to reward that kind of fast-action play.

The things I love most about all of the God of War reviews: The near perfect praise across everyone I read, and the sheer amount of them a FULL WEEK ahead of the game's release. It speaks confidence that God of War is serious competition to Red Dead Redemption 2 and Spiderman.
Also, speaking as a long time fan, it feels so, so good to hear something you've been anticipating not only be as good as you were hoping, but practically it being a universal view that the high expectations not only have been surpassed, but vastly exceeded.
I already was going to buy this day one, but now I'm clearing out even MORE of my schedule I was planning to in order to play as much of this as possible, as soon as possible.
-
The reviews are beyond my expectations, i can't say whether i'll be able to clear up my schedule for this game (still have other big unfinished games + tougher college materials), but man i wish i can time travel to warn myself in the past about this or something lol.
-
Everybody recording all of the same spoiler free footage has me itching to see the bosses and how violent this game really does. I appreciate the maturity of this new release, but I really do want that gore and aggression.
-
I've seen review so far give out either high recommendations or perfect scores. I am interested, but looking for challenge. From what I have seen from most reviews, the game won't be a cakewalk most "hardcore" gamers feared. Good.
-
@cocage I've understood as well from the reviews today that the "normal" difficulty is already fairly challenging. And if that's not enough, there are still two harder difficulties to choose from:

Okay... so I have a week now to finish Far Cry 5 or else I won't.
So far the only complaints I've seen are about the story, which is too bad, but probably subjective and tiny text in the menus. I think it's safe to say I might finally enjoy a God of War game.
-
@sentinel-beach I know about the other difficulties, but thanks for the link.

-
Just watched Digital Foundrys video on the tech, and I think I got a major location spoiled.
-
Uuh, that's unfortunate. :/ Thanks for the heads-up for the rest of us.
A week to go, gotta try and watch out for all the spoilers. They might hit randomly in the most impropable YouTube comments, for instance.
-
@sentinel-beach
Can't say for sure, but if its what I think it is, Sony gave some odd locations that didn't count as spoilers.
-
I am so hyped for this... even though it doesnt seem available to order from amazon UK. Will have to wait until friday and see if I can buy it then,
-
I watched the GameSpot review and they definitely spoiled some stuff, so I'd say avoid that if you're sensitive. Nothing super major, but just a warning.
